Bluechip Media Group specializes in running one of the most professional onsite film crews in collegiate sports. By combining the latest technology available in motion media with award winning storytellers, Bluechip excels at helping programs across the country tell their stories and showcase their brand.

“As professional filmmakers, our goal is to make a difference in the stories we tell for our clients. Getting acknowledged for not one, but three films, is a true honor for Bluechip Media Group,” said Neal Girandola, Executive Producer.

The Davey Awards exclusively honor the “Davids” of creativity, the finest small firms, agencies and companies in the world. David defeated the giant Goliath with a big idea and a little rock - the sort of thing small firms do each year. The annual International Davey Awards honors the achievements of the "Creative Davids" who derive their strength from big ideas, rather than big budgets.

“This year’s Davey Award winners truly embody the idea of small firms with big ideas. The work entered into this year's competition reflects a smart approach to creativity that highlights the capabilities and talents of small agencies worldwide” noted Linda Day, Executive Director of the Davey Awards.

Camera crews interviewed most of ODU’s coaches and some players this week. They took videos inside the L.R. Hill Sports Complex and drove around Hampton Roads making videos of scenic places.

On Thursday, a camera crew even followed Wilder as he went to Dunkin’ Donuts for coffee.

But the coolest thing I’ve seen at an ODU practice occurred on Tuesday, when Blue Chip officials cranked up a small drone that took off in one end zone and hovered several hundred feet about the Monarchs as they worked out.

“This takes some unbelievable video,” said Marty Dashiell of BlueChip.

The photo above shows Dashiell ready to fire up the drone, which looks like a small helicopter.

Neal Girandola, who heads the Atlanta-based crew, said they were at Mississippi State before coming to ODU.

They will return to ODU on Friday, Sept. 26, to shoot more video when the Monarchs host Middle Tennessee State. It will be the first Friday night game at ODU and will be televised nationally on Fox Sports.
